Minutes after defenceman Erik Karlsson was helped off the ice and it was determined his season was over, there was speculation the Senators should deal goalie Craig Anderson and call up Robin Lehner to let the youngster take the reins.

GM Bryan Murray isn't going to do anything that drastic.

"Craig Anderson has two years left on his contract. I'd say he's a pretty good cornerstone to build with," said Murray. "I don't know who is saying that, if it's someone up the Valley or at the other end of town.

"He's at a stage of his career where he will probably be able to play five or eight more years if we want him to do that and Robin is going to be great. These people are going to recover. Eventually we're going to have our core back and give people reason to cheer for the Ottawa Senators."
